Cheap fun - that sums it up. Last time I went, some of the arcade machines were broken. But for $2 entrance fee, and nickel games, I won't complain.

Once I got here at 10:00pm on a Saturday night, I knew the rest of the night was doomed for failure. The place was empty! If the library was opened on a Saturday night, I think there would be more…

Um...very ghetto place. A lot of broken games, some games that eat up your nickels, and it's pretty dirty in there. It was fun to go with a group of friends and look around for tickets left in the…

Awesome for us old-skool gamers. (I have a whole box full of 1980's Atari games and love them.) It only costs $2.00, yes I said two bucks and that enables you to play a whole boatload of free games.…

fun concept. however, plenty of hormone-raging adolescents believe it's a fun concept, too. and when you're 20-years-old trying to enjoy a clean game of tetris, this is against your favor.

It's your regular style arcade, but it's 1/5 the price! Well ok, most machines take more than one nickel but whatever it's still cheap. $2 to get in and $3 in nickels will last you at least an…

Good cheap fun! This is a great place for an inexpensive night of games. The admission fee is $2, which pays for itself on the free games in the corner. How can you beat 20 games of free Frogger! :)…

I used to go to Nickel City a lot as a young kid, but in the last 6 months it's been an almost-weekly destination for me and my group of friends. The cheap prices make it a safe bet every time. The…

SO MUCH FUN! I must preface this by saying I'm a total little girl at heart. When I go to Vegas, I find Circus Circus and Excalibur games much more exciting and fun than losing money at the Blackjack…
